wow nice start fo sho, i like the title sweet font, well hmm, instead of the grey borders, maybe put some mountians? i mean the reason switzerland is so inpenetrable is cause of those swiss alps, i would think it would give ur map a lil more realizum, the colors are all nice and distinguishable fo sho, looks good, nice start man..ah hmm maybe some like impassables some of those have a LOT of things u would hve to defend to hold, it is a mountainous country so thats what i got now, good stay bro

have a look at positions of mountains in switzerland on websites, then add them in corrosponding positions, although they probably would go through and cover some whole territories, you cant be 100% accurate.definitely immpassables as others have stated and you probably have also planned.great graphics.

also, could there be some sort of bonus for holding Zurich - sorry, not sure about the spelling

i dont know much about switzerland, you could do some research into what kind of public transport they may use, i know that their trains are very accurate and very good, so you might want to include a train system to link some terits, or an underground system - like tube in london - and subway in the US. I also dont know about how many airports there are so i cant comment about linking terits with airports.you could consider these and see what you think,

If you want that true Switzerland feel, then sure! why do you have 30 terts ? there are 23 or 26 cantons depending on whether you count the 3 sets of Halb-Kantone's individually or together.Because i wanted the number 30, so i added some cities as territories

v2-Added mts using this map:http://orbat.com/site/maps/map_files/sw ... rbases.gif-Made bonuses using WM's Bonus maker-Cut some of the text in half and brought them to the next line for neatness-Brought the borders layer under the continent color layers, so that the glow around the borders are the color of the continent

Mts good or too shiny? Are they in a good spot?Are the bonuses good?Any gfx concerns?Any game-play concerns?

i havnt taken a look at the bonuses because i cant see the whole image and i cba fixing my screen resolutions..the map is a little dark, you could perhaps make it lighter and hold a poll to see whether people prefer lighter or darker.

what is this widow makers' bonus maker tool?can you send me a link please?

This map looks like it has a lot of promise. My biggest suggestion now would be to do something with all that gray space in the background. It doesn't even need to be anything fancy - maybe just a subtle texture, or maybe draw in the borders of neighboring nations and put their names, or something. It just looks a tad boring now.

i still think its a bit dark,and the yellow - where you've made it light, it looks a little..umm...green, just a little, again if you go to the RGB chart and reduce the G factor by a little bit this can be solved, it might just be my monitor, what do others see?
